She was jailed for stalking Mr O'Connor but her sentence was successfully appealed.

Last month at Glasgow Sheriff Court, Boyd, admitting breach data rules by accessing the account at the RBS building on Glasgow's St Vincent Street, between January 1 and February 13, 2017, while on bail.

Today (Friday) sheriff Barry Divers fined her £1,200 reduced from £1,800 for her early plea and allowed her 28 days to pay.

Boyd previously pled guilty to “engaging in a course of conduct which cased Rhona and Kevin O’Connor fear and alarm” by stalking, between June and September 2016.

She hacked Mr O'Connor's social media accounts and sent messages about his “unhappy marriage” to people pretending to be him, and posted an offensive tweet about his wife, Rhona.

Boyd also admitted attempting to pervert the course of justice when she had a friend give a false statement to police taking the blame for the Twitter post in a twisted attempt to divert the blame.

Last October sheriff Paul Crozier jailed her for 11 months and granted a five year non-harassment order to protect the O’Connors.

He branded the course of conduct “evil and calculated to be destructive”.

The court heard yesterday this was appealed and mum-of-one Boyd was sentenced to two years supervision and 200 hours of unpaid work instead.

In December 2016, Boyd began working on the mortgage outbound customer care department at Royal Bank of Scotland on Glasgow's St Vincent Street.

Procurator fiscal depute Clare Macaulay said: "In September 2017 after she had pled guilty to the stalking matter and was awaiting sentence, Mr O'Connor who is an RBS customer contacted the bank as he has learned that the accused - who was previously a police officer - had become an employee of RBS.

"He was concerned that the accused may have accessed his private banking information as part of continuing her stalking campaign.

"As a consequence of Mr O'Connor's inquiry, the bank manager instructed that inquiries be made and instructed an RBS investigator to undertake an audit of the account held by Kevin O'Connor."

This audit revealed Boyd had accessed his account "on a number of occasions" between January 21, and February 13, 2017.

The audit information was sent to police and it was confirmed by the bank and Mr O'Connor that Boyd had no legitimate business purpose, or permission to access the account.

Defence lawyer Lene Doherty said Boyd is remorseful and “is trying to put that part of her life behind her”.

She said Boyd and her partner want to relocate and she pled guilty at the earliest opportunity.
